<font color="purple">Baba Temple in West Mambalam</font id="purple">
<font color="maroon">It was in 1991 Oct during Dussera, I went to this temple referred by one of my friends when I was facing a very serious problem. My friend told me that an old lady would be there who used to answer the questions of devotees earlier and has stopped to answer since long and that it is better to seek her blessings and try whether she would answer my problem.
I went there to see a Sai Baba temple in the ground floor – cemented flooring, with a thatched roof in the front for the devotees to sit and pray. There were few devotees doing Bhajan while in an easy chair towards one side was sitting an old lady of above 80 yrs age. I went to her and sought her blessings and explained my problem. She at once told me that there was some problem but everything would be alright within a week. And told me not to worry and leave it to Baba.
She must have prayed for me a lot that my problem was solved as she told me. Meanwhile, I came to know that she had since long stopped answering to questions from devotees and fortunately she answered me. I felt bad having given trouble to such an old lady. I went to apolgise as well as thank her and convey how my problem ended etc. This time the temple was empty and I was directed by someone to the first floor in the back yard. I found her there and released what all I wanted to.
She said she did as per Baba’s orders and did nothing special. She told me to participate in the daily Aartis and weekly Bhajans over there. I expressed my difficulty that I return from office very late and promised to participate as and when possible.

OM SAI RAM Kavita ji,
After reading this post I couldn't stop myself writing my experience at West Mambalam Shirdi Sai Baba temple.
Related to my work I was sent on deputation to Chennai for couple of months,this was in Oct 2003.
But BABA showered his grace on me & called me to this temple only in Jan-Feb 2004. As I am not a native of Chennai, it was bit uncomfortable for me to stay at women's hostel , I kept on changing hostels in Chennai during y stay from Oct 2003 to March 2004.
One of the hostel's last I stayed was in West Mambalam near to Shirdi Sai Baba temple, I didn't knew that I was coming very close to BABA at that time. I happened to ask hostel aaya if she is aware of any shirdi sai baba temple around. She told there is one in next street. My joy knew no bounds & that weekend I planned to attend aarthi .
I was there around 12:00 PM assuming aarati would start on time, but the temple doors were closed. I don't remember if some one suggested or I myself happened to climb the stairs , found a room a with lot of diety photos, i am unable to recollect all, but I saw the whole room was filled up with photos..etc...There I saw poojari, I dont recollect his name, he told about the lady story that was narrated by Kavitha ji here.
I regularly attended aarathi's at night after work daily , I felt the persence of BABA in many ways there though they are small experiences.
One I would like to share, on ugadi festival i got up in morning , my intution told me that one of my neighbours next ot our house in hyderabad is dead. I never got any thought in particular about my neighbours. I took it light that it just occured to me that way. But when I went home I heard from my mother that he is really dead.
Another one experience, as I was away from home I felt bit home sick , I was not having cell or mobile at that time, if I had to call home, I had to go out & make a call, in hostel there are only incoming calls, I was feeling so bad one day missing my mother a lot, I happened to see her face flashing for a second in real not dream, I wished at my heart if my mother would call me, the next moment I was told I got a call from my parents.
BABA is there always, we forget his presence. I do remember , i had been to mylapore temple too.
I like this West Mambalam temple a lot , wish BABA would call me again there in Oct next month mid when I am in Chennai for a day trip.
